“Attention to all blacks who plan to vote for Trump,” the sign outside New Era Baptist Church reads, “you are an ignorant stupid negro.” The other side says, “Warning African Americans: A vote for Trump will put Blacks back to picking cotton.”

    Good it’s true. He is a literal racist. If you will vote for someone that hates people with your skin color you deserve what comes to you.

        Ah, the democrats are showing their true colors once again as the party of the KKK.

        Last time I checked the KKK endorses the Republican party these days. Same as literal Nazis. Isn’t that why Republicans allow Klan hoods and Nazi flags at their gatherings? Calling Democrats the party of the KKK isn’t the insult you think it is when Republicans are the ones openly embracing their rhetoric.

        Republicans will call themselves a dictator and get mad when others calls themselves anti dictator. Bunch of snowflakes.

          Also the father of the current Republican candidate was arrested at a Klan rally while the current Democratic candidate is literally black, making the statement even more asinine.

          Additionally, her father is the first black scholar granted tenure at the Stanford Department of Economics.

        “there was no switch. That’s why you see all of those Democrats waving the Confederate flag. That why all of the Confederate states are deep blue.”

          Black people had already switched over to the Democrats in the 1940s well before the Civil Rights Act happened. The “Big Switch” in the 1960s was North vs South, not White vs Black.

            No one is saying black people switched any thing. We are talking about how the Democrats were confederate supporters during the civil war and immediately after, and then there was a switch where the Republicans became the party of confederate supporters. Which is why it’s republicans now who are flying the racist and traitorous confederate flags now, and no longer the democrats.

                Lol Mississippi is still flying the Confederate flag at their capitol. “Just a tiny minority!” Where have you been the past 2 decades, defending flying the Confederate flag as some kind of “southern pride” thing? And weren’t you just arguing that the Democrats are the party of the KKK? Which, of course, is not true, but it didn’t seem you care much about something being a “tiny minority” then.

    Oh FFS, “negro” isn’t the “N” word, and this is within the black community so don’t judge. I’m glad they’re speaking plain truth in a way that might have genuine impact.

    Title feels like clickbait. Would be more convinced if the thumbnail didn’t directly show the sign saying “negro” and not the actual slur.

    But that just makes the choice of title more confusing.

      I mean, I sort of agree but it’s not like they could put “Negro” in the title and they did properly put the correct number of dashes for the missing letters.

    Talking politics in church tho? I mean I also agree with the sentiment but what happened to being citizens of the kingdom that is not of this earth? I understand lots of religious leaders are advocating for the other side, but it seems wrong to me either way.

    I don’t care for the vitriol but the sentiment is exactly how I feel.

    Any person who is not a white male millionaire that votes for trump I’d am idiot, but it’s particular true of black people and hispanics.

      It’s baseless science that was just to further subjugate an oppressed people by giving their mistreatment a pseudoscientific justification.

          Is that why you keep telling everyone the earth is the center of the universe? Can’t forget all those years of study!

      You can say black, but you apparently can’t say black in latin. Maybe the ones who downvoted you are just ignorant.
